Sri Lanka

Cinnamon Lodge,
Habarana
Sri Lanka, Cultural Triangle

The Cinnamon Lodge Hotel in Habarana continues to charm independent visitors with its welcoming combination of beauty, tranquillity and excellent facilities.

Set amidst 25 acres of picturesque woodland scenery in the heart of Sri Lanka, the well spaced individual cottages offer privacy and comfort in considerable seclusion from one another.

All 150 cottages at Cinnamon Lodge are comfortable and spacious with private sitting areas and verandas as well as the mod cons to be expected of this high level of hotel. The pool is lovely and the variety of the facilities offered by the hotel mean there is always something to do if merely relaxing and enjoying the surroundings isn't enough.

The lovely lake means that as well as scenic beauty, guests are treated to a fantastic array of birdlife with over 138 species identified in the grounds as well as the grey monkeys that mischievously patrol. The lake is also a popular spot for swimming.

The restaurant has a reputation for good food including excellent Sri Lankan food something which is often overlooked in the larger hotels in Sri Lanka. There are nature trails, bicycles for hire, a herbal spa and tennis courts all available.

Habarana is ideally placed to explore the Ancient Triangle of Sigiriya, Polonnaruwa and Anuradhapura as well as being the starting point for elephant safaris. These safaris are particularly interesting in the dry period, July to September, when huge numbers of elephants gather locally in the evenings at the Miniriyia Tank nearby.

The Cinnamon Lodge has a solid reputation as one of the best hotels in the region. If you feel like really treating yourself then the Suite offers spacious, lounge style accommodation with a private butler.

Deluxe -
This is our first really 'upmarket' category. It might be a beautiful tiny hotel with very limited facilities or a 5* resort hotel with all the trimmings; but any hotel in this category will be a well-run establishment with very comfortable rooms, a strong service ethos and excellent food.

Just wanted to drop you a quick email to say thank you for organising a truly wonderful honeymoon. We fell in love with Sri Lanka the moment we stepped off the plane and despite the rain really did have the most amazing time!

The road between most hotels and the Sinharaja Rainforest entrance is often unpassable for standard saloon cars – you will need us to organise you a jeep.
